Forged Iron Wall Plate

This Single Duplex Receptacle & Rocker/GFI Wall Plate by Hammered Hinges is machined to specifications, then forged and hammered for the perfect antique reproduction look. Due to fabrication limitations, all plates are 100% flat for a flush mount installation. Outlets and switches will need to be recessed in the opening for a true level (flush) install. Wall plates are mild steel and finished with linseed oil.

Linseed Oil vs. Beeswax Finish

A traditional finishing technique used during colonial times (and prior) was the use of melted beeswax as a protective coating. The metal piece was warmed up, often placed back into the forge for a moment, then dipped into a warm container of melted beeswax. The beeswax preserved the natural character of the metal and protected against minor scratches or corrosion. Even so much as softening the feel of the metal when touched.

Hammered Hinges applies a boiled linseed oil to all the pieces using the same warming and dipping technique. A thin layer of linseed oil penetrates the metal and helps provide protection against corrosion. A beeswax finish adds additional costs and is slightly less effective. The drying time of linseed oil must be taken into consideration when deciding to purchase and use Hammed Hinges hardware.

Please keep in mind that the intention of Hammered Hinges is to reproduce the look and feel of antique hand made hardware. Corrosion is considered a characteristic result of these reproductions. Maintenance of these items can be a simple reapplication of linseed oil using a clean cloth.
